摘要: The time-complexity of deterministic and randomized protocols for achieving broadcast (distributing a message from source to all other nodes) in arbitrary multi-hop radio networks is investigated. In many such networks, communication takes place synchronous time-slots. A processor receives at certain time-slot if exactly one its neighbors transmits that time-slot. We assume no collision-detection mechanism; i.e., it not always possible distinguish the case where neighbor several transmit simultaneously. present protocol achieves time which optimal up logarithmic factor. particular, with probability 1 --E, within O((D + log n/s) ‘log n) time-slots, n number processors network D diameter. On hand, we prove linear lower bound on this model. Namely, show any requires 8(n) even has diameter 3, known processors. These two results demonstrate an exponential gap complexity between randomization determinism.
